Remote Control bridge worker child processes can now run in a machine-settings mode that also changes Claude-in-Chrome defaults
What
- When Claude Code spawns a Remote Control bridge worker child process, it can now set a new environment variable,
CLAUDE_CODE_BRIDGE_CHILD_MACHINE_SETTINGS="1", alongside the existingCLAUDE_CODE_BRIDGE_CHILD_AUTO_DEFAULTandCLAUDE_CODE_BRIDGE_CHILD_ARTIFACTvariables. This is set for project-thread child sessions when a related feature flag is on. - When this bridge-child machine-settings mode is active, Claude-in-Chrome (the browser integration, referred to as CFC) is no longer turned on by default in cases where it otherwise would be.
Why
This lets bridge child sessions run with their own machine-level settings without unexpectedly also turning on the Chrome browser integration by default.
